TICKETS + INFORMATION

What an appealing program: George Walker’s gorgeous Lilacs; longtime Bard faculty member Joan Tower’s Flute Concerto (I still don’t understand why Tower hasn’t attained a Copland level of fame) — and Mahler’s Fifth, no less .

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, once you’ve schlepped as far as Red Hook (the Upstate one: even more of schlep than the one in Brooklyn), you might as well keep schlepping to Pine Plains for Old American (lot of that going around these days) at Stissing House — from one of the chefs behind King! Streaming at home, have an Abbey: pour 1-1/2 oz. Gin and 3/4 oz. each of Kina L’Avion d’Or (or Cocchi Americano or even Lillet Blanc) and orange juice, with 2 dashes of orange bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a cocktail cherry.
